Character from Act 2
Act two was very interesting. Seeing Rozencratz hired as a spy by the king and queen to oversee Hamlet's new found infatuations with Ophelia. Hiding behind a curtain Polonius witnesses Hamlet's insane behavior when around Ophelia and reports back to Gertrude and Claudius. Hamlet is playing a bluff! He isn't as obsessed with Ophelia as he pretends to be. I think his madness is a result of his frustration towards his current familial situation. He can't fathom his father's ghost and his mother's betrayal so he acts out and seeks attention like someone during a juvenile tantrum!
